That was a crazy move by Eckes. He's lucky he didn't get hit.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

How many cautions does Lawless Alan cause per race? On average?

# of laps / # of pit stops expected

 

[FLRacingFan]

????

 

[Charlie Spencer]

WHAT IN HELL?

 

[mkline]

 

[Pat]

WTH??? The whole axle

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Just Marco Andretti things

 

[donthaveanickname]

Who needs an axle?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Have you ever?

 

[donthaveanickname]

That's the kind of stuff that normally only happens to the Andrettis at Indianapolis.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

But the tires stayed up

 

[HoneyBadger]

lol

 

[REBS31]

The truck series will never cease to amaze me

 

[HoneyBadger]

One turn from the white. Now 20 minutes of waiting for chaos.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Have you ever?

Never, ever.

 

[HoneyBadger]

How in the what?

I would've waited for Corey to cross the S/F line before throwing the caution.
We're in for a mess again.

Yep. Corey deserved it. This is one of those times where you just let the race end.

Rhodes in 7th has at least 4 laps more fuel than the top 5.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Great shot of the airplane behind the tower. The airport is just across the road from the track.

Wheel hopped too much.

Bruce Cook builds quality race cars.

 

[HoneyBadger]

I’m a Corey Heim fan.

He went early on that restart.

But I don’t care. He deserves the win.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Corey’s shaking it.

 

[HoneyBadger]

HEIM TIME!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

When do we guess X will start, 5:30 or so?

 

[StandOnIt]

Heim time.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Heim dominated. Well-deserved win.

4th and 6th for the IMSA boys, solid.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

A great run for Connor Zilich in his Truck series debut, finishing 4th. Ends up being a tough day for Tyler Ankrum, finishes 25th.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Good to see Corey get rewarded. His truck was the only one without a scratch on it.

Green flag at 5:19 says Jayski.

[Charlie Spencer]

Seems like a good idea...

 

[KTMLew01]

Seems like a good idea...

Truck arms failed. Too many curb & braking induced wheel hops.

 

[BobbyFord]

Tough break for Sanchez today. They had a good truck.

 

[Magnethead]

The truck race was pretty good for being a 1-person breakaway. 2/3 and 4/5 were battling it out quite a bit through the race. Corey just had the field paced by seconds. Safe to say he did his homework.

The andretti axle thing was bizarre. I'm thinking the U-bolts for the truck arms failed. It's the only logical explanation.
